Robert was extremely embarrassed. He was giving a presentation on the research findings to the senior executives of the company. The CEO of the company stopped him in the middle of the presentation and said, "This is not what I asked for or needed. This meeting is over. Reschedule the meeting when you're prepared." What do you suppose could have gone wrong, and what should Robert do?

What will be an ideal response?


There are two likely reasons for the CEO's comments. First, it could have been Robert's presentation, which may not have been precise or targeted to the executives' needs. This would be relatively easy to fix with a new presentation format. The second likely reason is that the research objectives did not match the CEO's needs. This will require reevaluation of the entire process and the work done to date. It may require starting over. Robert should collect his thoughts, look at the presentation objectively, and work with a member of the executive team to determine what could be salvaged or needs to be redone.
